To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the Answer of 20 November
to Question 190750, if he will (a) respond to the question of disabled access from
the London side car park at Lichfield Trent Valley railway station and (b) provide
Access for All funding for the construction of a ramp enabling disabled access from
that car park to the station and its platforms; and if he will make a statement.

<p>Access for All is already due to provide an accessible route into the station and
to and between all platforms, including access to one of the car parks. As only around
a fifth of UK stations have proper step free access we intend to target the new tranche
of funding at stations that disabled passengers are unable to use, ensuring that Access
for All will benefit the maximum number of people across the country. Additional scope
at existing projects, such as an extra ramp, would therefore need to have third party
funding.</p>

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will provide Access for All funding
for the construction of a ramp from the car park on the London side of Lichfield Trent
Valley railway station to enable disabled access from the car park to the station
and its platforms; and if he will make a statement.

<p>Access for All provides an accessible route from at least one station entrance
(usually the main one) and all drop off points associated with that entrance, to each
platform and between platforms served by passenger trains.</p><p> </p><p>At Lichfield
Trent Valley, this means the project will deliver new lifts at platform level to link
platforms 1 and 2 to platform 3 and provide an accessible route to and between all
platforms, including from the station car park associated with that entrance.</p>

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, if he will discuss with the Secretary of
State for Defence ways by which vexatious claims against soldiers who have served
on operations overseas can be minimised; and if he will make a statement.

<p>As the Prime Minister announced last Friday we cannot have our armed forces being
hounded by ambulance chasing lawyers pursuing spurious claims. I will be chairing
a working group with the Minister for Armed forces that will look at every aspect
of this issue, including conditional fee arrangements, legal aid rules and disciplinary
sanctions against lawyers who abuse the system, to prevent malicious litigation being
brought against our service personnel.</p>

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what assessment his Department has made
of the potential merits of introducing a Wireless Emergency Alert system in the UK
similar to that currently available in the United States.

<p>Cabinet Office worked with the police, the communications providers and behavioural
scientists and undertook geographically limited, but realistic, trials of mobile alerting
culminating in 2014. Mobile alerting is kept under review as part of our ability to
warn and inform the public about emergencies through a range of channels.</p>

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many non-British EEA nationals with a National
Insurance number who arrived in the UK prior to four years ago (a) paid National Insurance
contributions, (b) paid PAYE income tax and (c) claimed benefits or tax credits in
the last year.

<p>Calculating the number of individuals who were paying PAYE income tax and National
Insurance contributions who were citizens of the EEA when they first registered for
a National Insurance Number is complex and cannot be done quickly. However, HM Revenue
and Customs are planning to produce further information early in 2016 on this issue,
once it has been properly collated.</p><br />

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, pursuant to the Answer of
13 February 2019 to Question 216936, for what reason NHS Blood and Transplant has
not conducted paid for advertising to inform men who have sex with men of changes
to blood donation rules.

<p>During 2017/18, NHS Blood and Transplant spent £3.14 million on paid media to encourage
people to donate blood. All marketing materials promote the ‘eligibility criteria
tool’ which is found on the Give Blood website at the following link:</p><p> </p><p><a
href="https://www.blood.co.uk/" target="_blank">https://www.blood.co.uk/</a></p><p>
</p><p>The ‘eligibility criteria tool’ lists the deferral times for a range of scenarios
such as travel, medical conditions, tattoos and includes information for men who have
sex with men and wish to donate blood. NHS Blood and Transplant is committed to exploring
whether a more individualised approach to risk assessment could be taken to donor
selection and expects to report on its findings regarding new evidence and new technologies
for assessing risk by 2020. NHS Blood and Transplant has and will continue to engage
with key stakeholders such as the Terrence Higgins Trust, the National Aids Trust
and Stonewall about changes to eligibility criteria.</p>
